    Donovan seems like a good coach but has too many superstars and doesn't know how to use them, or motivate them.

    OKC have a very weak 2nd unit and it shows. Grant & Felton offer great service but Albrines is getting mucho minutes and offering SFA. Patterson to be fair gets good numbers for the minutes he gets. But Huestis and Ferguson are just taking up bench space at this point with Collison.

    When Russ starts getting that shot in rhythm, in his stride and doesn't rush he is damn near impossible to guard. If he can string another game together in Utah and get the W, they'll win at home.

    PG needs other Playoff-P game and continue to get those stops. I wonder if he's got one foot out the door. I'd love for him to stay.

    I think Adams got away with quite a few moving screen but he played his role player part the best he could yesterday. He was the "wall". In Utah it'll be hard for jim to produce this type of off the ball effort without getting called for it.

    Melo needs to drag his old ass up and court and start living off that 18 footer. Its his best shot and he seems to be able to hit it no matter whos on him. The odd clutch 3 is all good but he needs to take the mid range more often.

    VICTOR OLADIPO!

    Man game 7 is going to be exciting. Hope all these three games go to 7. Lebron will be on the physio table getting treatment all over from carrying his team.

    Indiana is my smokey to be the Eastern Conference champ. I'll think they'll win game 7 in Cleveland.

    OKC need to stay close in this 3rd quarter, and PG or Melo has to heat up NOW. Otherwise it's holiday time.

    At least he is defending. Unlike Melo....

    This game is over though as no one apart from Russ and occasionally Adams can score for OKC.

    Based on this series I'm not sure I want my Lakers to sign PG13 if he is available. Nothing in his career so far suggests he can come up big when the spotlight is at its brightest

    Gobert has taken away easy layups and Westbrook has responded by jacking up ill advised 3s. Madness.

    OKC had some good open looks from those offensive rebounds in that sequence.

    Adams has been great. The thunder have had enough chances to score in the last 2 minutes. Russ is cold, Felton should hit the 3

    No call by the refs after PG looked to have sucked a foul from Gobert

    That non-call on PG's shot was as bad as LBJ's goal tending. The refs bottled that.

    The positives were that Adams came up big in this game and Grant played really good D in the 4th. Roberson would have been assigned to Mitchell and wouldn't have let him score so many.

    The Jazz lost all 4 games vs the Rockets in the regular season. I think their 2nd Rd series will be closer than that.

    The loss of Roberson was significant, he would have guarded Mitchell

    Who wins ROTY? Mitchell or Simmons?

    The 76ers nearly doubled their win total this season.

    Tough call. I think the Jazz are just happy they've bounced back from losing Hayward

    @canefan I think Mitchell will end up being an all time player. He has no ceiling just need to stay healthy. In my opinion he is the closest thing I have seen to MJ in sometime. A friend reckons hes Wade 2.0 as well.
